favourite cameos/guest stars?
seemed llike an interesting idea for a thread to discuss some of the best cameos and guest stars over the years and various mediums. Did a search first and found nothing specific like this.
Some of my personal picks to start with -
Radio:
0) Andy Devine's frequent appearances during the Jack Benny 1936-37 season, usually for the hilarious 'Buck Benny' bits
1)Vincent Price appearing on the Johnny Dollar Show as himself circa 1957 or so. I would have to check my collection for the exact date and episode title, but it involved stolen artwork
2)Red Skelton on the Life of Riley as Clem Caddilehopper. Riley sets up his bosses nephew (Clem) for a date with his daughter Babs. I do not know the date off the top of my head, but heard that show once and would love to add it to my collection
3) edit: just remembered the 11 nov 1941 broadcast of The Fibber McGee and Molly Show with Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. They were promoting 'Look Who's Laughing' which also starred Fibber and Molly AKA Jim and Marian Jordan.
Films:
0) Bob Hope in Spies Like Us. The look of genuine surprise on Dan Akroyd's face is classic.
1) the 1953 Road to Bali - has Bob Crosby with one line, Humphrey Bogart, and Jane 'Boom-Boom' Russel just to name a few.
2) Bing Crosby as Harry the Executioner in the 1947 My favorite Brunette
3) Bing Crosby as the lucky suitor at the end of the 1943 Princess and the Pirate after Bob Hope goes through the entire film trying to win the girl
